INTRODUCTION
At present corona virus is the biggest havoc for our lives. We have to be careful at every moment.
Though there are vaccines and medicine we have to take our preventive measures. Avoiding surface
contact is one such a preventive measure. Touchless doorbell can make a doorbell touch free so that we
can avoid corona to some extent. By using ultrasonic sensor, Arduino uno and buzzer we can make a simple
circuit which can detect the person and gives intimation to the owner of the house, without touching the
doorbell.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In proposed system we are implementing Arduino based touchless doorbell. In this system we are
using ultrasonic sensor to detect a person or object by the distance. Ultrasonic sensors emit short, high
frequency sound pulses at regular intervals. Whenever a person or object comes in front of the doorbell
then they are reflected back as echo signals to the sensor, which itself computes the distance based on the
time taken for emitting and receiving the echo. Then the buzzer will blow

ARDUINO UNO:

The Arduino Uno is an open source microcontroller card that is based on the Microchip
ATmega328P microprocessor. The card is outfitted with advanced and simple info/yield (I/O) pin
gatherings, which can be associated with different development cards (safeguard) and different circuits. It
has 14 advanced I/O pins (six with PWM yield work), 6 simple I/O sticks, and can be modified with Arduino

IDE (Integrated Development Environment) through USB Type B cable. Despite the fact that it can accept
voltages between 7 and 20 volts, it can be powered by a USB link or an external 9-volt battery. It's similar
to the Arduino Nano and Leonardo. The equipment reference configuration has been authorized similarly
as Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 permit. It very well may be found on the Arduino site. Plan and
assembling documents are additionally accessible for some equipment adaptations.

ULTRASONIC SENSOR:

Ultrasonic sensors are used primarily as proximity sensors. An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic
device that uses ultrasonic sound waves to determine distance between a target item and convert the
reflected sound into an electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel quicker than audible sound waves. The
transmitter (which emits sound using piezoelectric crystals) and the receiver are the two primary
components of ultrasonic sensors (which encounters the sound after it has travelled to and from the
target).
At regular intervals, ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound pulses. If they collide with an
object, they are reflected back to the sensor as echo signals, which the sensor uses to calculate the distance
between the target and the sensor based on the time it takes to emit and receive the echo.

FINDING AND DISCUSSION

This touchless doorbell is very effective and reliable. This is very helpful especially in this corona
time. It helps in avoiding surface contact which in turn reduces outbreak of corona. It is not only useful
only in corona time but also useful when our both hands are in used and also for some physically
handicapped persons.

CONCLUSION AND FURTHER RESEARCH

This will prevent surface contact and also help persons without hands. This can be further extended
to detect the temperature. This will help in reducing the manpower to check the temperature. This can be
further improved to detect the faces of the persons standing at the door, so that the owner can identify the
person who is standing at the door without opening the door. This can increase safety measures.
